Three months have passed since our Portfolio Review for 2021 and a lot has been going on! So it’s time to give another update! Our portfolio now has swelled to 97 portfolio companies and we expect to close another 7 deals in the coming month, reaching triple digits with 104 companies – a portfolio number enviable even by Silicon Valley standards. At this pace, we are on track in the next few months to become the champion in Bulgaria in terms of total number of investments made.
Since the end of 2021 we have made 25 investments for a total amount of 1 150 000 euro. Most of the new members of our portfolio are Pre-Seed startups with investments between 25 000 euro and 50 000 euro which aim at developing their initial product or service and validating it on the market.
